The angular velocity of the earth with which it has to rotate so that acceleration due to gravity on latitude becomes zero is (Radius of earth At the poles )
Three identical bodies of mass are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side . They revolve under the effect of mutual gravitational force in a circular orbit, circumscribing the triangle while preserving the equilateral triangle. Their orbital velocity is
Imagine a new planet having the same density as that of earth but it is 3 times bigger than the earth in size. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is and that on the surface of the new planet is , then
A particle of mass is placed at the centre of a uniform spherical shell of mass 3 and radius . The gravitational potential on the surface of the shell is
Two spherical planets and have same mass but densities in the ratio 8:1. For these planets, the ratio of acceleration due to gravity at the surface of to its value at the surface of is
A satellite which is geostationary in a particular orbit is taken to another orbit. Its distance from the centre of earth in new orbit is 2 times that of the earlier orbit. The time period in the second orbit is
